Always love your ease of expression and plethora of ideas, Sylvia. Working with adult ESOL ss, I agree that their comfort and belief in themselves within the classroom environment can can prove to be a stronger measure of their success than their intellectual abilities. I am interested in studying our(teachers') positive effects on student outcomes.

Fly High With synergy
“No man can reveal to you aught but that which
already lies half asleep in the dawning of your
knowledge.
The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple,
among his followers, gives not of his wisdom but
rather of his faith and his lovingness.
If he is indeed wise he does not bid
you enter the house of his wisdom,
but rather leads you to the threshold
of your own mind.”
― Khalil Gibran, The Prophet

The Dreamer, The Realist &
The Critic
• Create a dream or vision of the whole
film. ( In this case the film is your
vision for learning which is deeply
embedded in your inner teaching
values.)
The
Dreamer
• Look at the plan realistically. (
balance money, time, resources, and
all necessary information.)
The
Realist
• Look at the whole thing again from
the point of view of a critical member
of the audience.

Power of Creative
constraints one
In certain types of poetry
constraints can unleash
further creativity.
Constraints force focus &
then provide a chink
through which ideas shoot
out like a laser beam.
Like when the magnifying
glass captures and
intensifies the rays of the
sun and creates fire.

HAD I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver
light,
The blue and the dim and the dark
cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your
feet:
But I, being poor, have only my
dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
W.B. Yeats (1865–1939)
And so it goes on….
